Navas Quant Fusion

Quantitative fusion – Quant Fusion is a new concept in fusion preparations for XRF, which allows one to quantify the important variables of weight loss due to the release of intrinsic moisture and volatiles for each fusion individually in an automated way in the fusion process.

The concept frees XRF fusion processes from the uncertainties and assumptions made in conventional fusion systems. The aim to provide accurate results for elements dissolved in flux matrices with additives of oxidant and releasing agent has never been easier to achieve.

This simplification of the process coupled with automation of critical weight data collection gives unsurpassed improvements in accuracy and ultimately in precision and hence the name quantitative fusion.

The Navas Quant Fusion simplifies the fusion process by:

Being able to use dried samples, no pre ignition is necessary even for samples with high percentages of volatiles like limestone.

Being able to auto dose the flux weight to a pre determined dilution ratio.

Being able to track the exact weight of an approximate addition of sample and oxidant if necessary (reduces the need for time consuming precise weighing).

The Loss on Ignition is tracked during the fusion process.

The final bead weight is measured just before the automated addition of the releasing agent giving the true sample dilution ratio.

These values are captured by the Navas Quant Fusion software for automatic integration into any XRF data computation program.
